For this final project, I used an AI chat tool to help me design and build two special-purpose web calculators using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and Bootstrap, then deployed them on the MIS demo server. For Part 1, I followed the required AI prompt to generate a loan repayment calculator, copied the AI-generated code into my index.html file in my finalproject folder, and then debugged and refined it so it worked correctly at:
https://misdemo.temple.edu/tuq10109s/finalproject/
I made sure it calculates the monthly payment, total amount paid, and total interest for a loan, validates user input, avoids JavaScript alert() and prompt(), and displays helpful error messages and results in a clean Bootstrap layout.
For Part 2, I created my own unique special-purpose calculator and hosted it at:
https://misdemo.temple.edu/tuq10109s/finalproject/nbacalc/.
Instead of reusing a class example, I edited the AI prompt to build a recovery and risk assessment tool for ACL injuries. My custom calculator collects information about a person’s ACL injury and uses that input to estimate where they are in the recovery process, how appropriate their current training load is for that stage, the risk level of their knee, and suggestions on how to move forward. I again tested and adjusted the code to ensure it responds appropriately to both good and bad input and presents clear, user-friendly feedback. Overall, the project showed that I can combine my own coding skills with AI-generated code to design, deploy, and refine practical web applications.
